Aleks Canard's Blog: FROM THE CONCESSION STAND - Posts Tagged "fantasy"

While I am far from living solely off my royalties, more people than ever are reading my books.

If you are one of those people, thank you. Each sale still has me in disbelief.

Given this marginal increase in popularity, I thought it'd be appropriate to update anyone who might care about my latest series. This update is especially necessary since I despise using social media and will only post when a new book is published.

As Charles Bukowski says, only assholes talk about writing. I agree. So, I'll keep this succinct.

Shadows Over The West is my latest book which was published in July. I'm currently writing another novel still set in Terrae, just slightly earlier than Jedd's tale.

For those of you who've read well into the Machina Novels, this new story takes place after a certain tourney, near a peculiar lake.

I initially thought it would only be one novel comparable in size to Jedd's debut. It's since grown to the point where it may be in three parts.

God willing, I plan to publish the entire story in one hit sometime in late 2024 unless I sell enough books to quit my day job. Then I'll go back to writing three thousand words a day and it should be ready sooner.

Then it'll be straight on to Jedd's sequel. I miss him and the others and cannot wait to see them again.

Until next time, dear reader, I hope you enjoy the stories.

I pray I'm able to keep writing them forever.
